National Comedy Theatre to celebrate 25 years of bringing laughter to the community
2024年7月18日 - 11:00PM
San Diego’s funniest night out is celebrating 25 years of laughs
with the community this fall. National Comedy Theatre has
entertained audiences of all sizes and types across the nation for
more than two decades with its unique brand of interactive, improv
comedy and is the premiere destination for all things improv comedy
in San Diego County.
“When we first opened, we weren’t entirely sure if we would make
it past 6 months,” said NCT Artistic Director Gary Kramer. “How
amazing it is to look back at 25 years of shows and feel like it
just started yesterday.”
National Comedy Theatre opened in October of 1999 to provide the
very best in improv comedy to the city of San Diego, providing
guests with a new, satisfying experience every time.
“Our show creates an environment where the audience can connect
directly with the cast on stage during the performance,” Kramer
said. “It’s a profound experience to share laughter as a community,
particularly in a post-Covid world.”
“I couldn’t be prouder of our cast and crew for their talent,
skill and dedication that has allowed us to reach the quarter
century milestone, while keeping the show relevant and ever
evolving,” Kramer said. “Our goal is to keep reaching an
increasingly diverse and wide-ranging audience, and we couldn’t
have done it without every version of the cast that has preceded
our current one.”
The San Diego-based entertainment company has performed in front
of an estimated 500,000 guests in the past 25 years. It’s also held
nearly 6,500 performances to date, making it the longest running
show in San Diego history, featuring professional improv comedians
creating a series of scenes completely based on audience
suggestions.
“National Comedy Theatre hitting the quarter-century milestone
is a testament to the enthusiasm and dedication of every NCT
member,” said NCT performer Jessica Talson Burtness. “The players
and staff find such joy being part of the theatre and I think the
audience feels that passion from us in the shows.”
The Oct. 5th show will be performed by the nationally acclaimed
Mainstage Cast, which takes the stage every Friday night at 7:30
and 9:45 p.m. and on Saturday evenings at 7:30. A reception on the
patio will be held prior to the show with an after show celebration
across the street at Fishtank, a boutique craft cocktail lounge and
nightclub.
The National Comedy Theatre is located at 3717 India St., next
to Shakespeare’s Pub. Tickets for the Oct. 5th performance are
available now ($17 for students/seniors and $22 for adults) and can
